    Thank you Paul, I have received a few other emails off list as well. Looks like this might have to be an addition to the panel soon.. See everyone in Waycross..

I am very happy with it and its ablity to not get lost unless the acro gets extreme. If it does get lost after some spins or snaps it takes just a few moments to realign after flying straight and level. The best part is there is no moving parts to wear out. Paul Hornick

    --> Yak-List message posted by: Ernest Martinez <erniel29@gmail.com> This is a blatant plug for a neighbors new book coming out. Some of you may have heard a legendary Grumman test pilot, Corkey Meyer. You may have read some of his many contributions to Flight Journal magazine. He has now published a book, chronicling his 35 years at Grumman.

Thanks, looks like my permit is good just about everywhere except those you already pointed out.

Do you have a different URL for this site? Or did I just get sent packing? I'll pass this site on to my son who is in the middle of a PCS move now. Thanks, Doc ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: Re: Yak-List: survival of the vested If any of You have a CCW, or are planning on qualifying for one, or if not, here is a web site to look at in regards to one state honoring another starts CCW permit, as for the states of New York, Wisconson, and of course California, they have a left wing attitude about a person protecting oneself. Good places to avoid...... www.packing.com It will give you a lot of info... Gary -------------- Original message from "Schlafly Fred" <fschlafly@sprynet.com>: -------------- If you are flying over country with dangerous game, a .44 mag pistol should be your minimum protection if forced to land. A short lever rifle in 45-70 or similar is better. If the dangerous game is on two legs, a .357, 9mm or .40 cal pistol will work just fine. No pistols allowed in Canada...what a shame. More than half the States in the US recognize right to carry CCW permits from other states or do not require a permit. Check with each State before going there. Personally, if a State does not recognize my permit, I avoid that State and spend my money elsewhere. For food (light game) a folding or breakdown .22 rifle is good...one even floats. Be prepared, Fred Schlafly YAK-52 ----- Original Message ----- From: tcjpilot710@aol.com Subject: Re: Yak-List: survival of the vested Years ago there survival kits that the USAF carried that had a little folding .22 cal rifle. It was a neat little thing and very good at close range. In survival situations you don't need large caliber weapons to kill rabbits, birds, etc., for meat. If landing in "Indian country" that's different. Up in AK and wilder points north, because the average big Brown bear will not even notice a .22 so we can say that where you're at dictates what to carry. I do not think any local county Mountie will brother you with a .22 cal rifle or any caliber rifle in you possession. ALL pistols are problems no matter what caliber. Jim "Pappy" Goolsby

    Did you install it yourself? Hard to do? I have a Garmin transponder, anything special to worry about there? Thanks for any help.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jim Bernier" <JBernier@dart.org> Michael. Need more information. Is this a fresh engine installation? Was this happening from the start? If you move the prop governor to course pitch, on the ground with engine off, can you move the counter weights? Can you cycle the prop at very low RPM's on the ground? If you answer yes to all these questions, I have an answer.

They fit into the prop shaft of the "Speed Reducer". If you look at Volume 2, Power plant and Special Equipment, Chapter 08 Propeller, Figure. 8-4a parts 3, 4, and 5. The absence of these caused my problem. Check this area of your prop. Check part number 2 to see if it is still seated. If not seated, then you have found the problem. Good hunting.

    Michael, If you haven't lubed the hub bearings and sliders recently, now might be a good time. With the prop dome off (oil pressure removed) you should be able to move the counterweights. If not, get the proper tools from Doug and dive in. Use Aeroshell #5 to repack the bearings, after completely degreasing and blowing clean with shop air. Assuming you find no scoring on the thrust plates from lack of lube, that means too much bearing wear. Craig Payne .

    The best deal on a vest that I could find was in the (Cheaper Than Dirt) catalog. They have several styles, and the price is right. Have mind loaded with enough supplies, and signaling devices, food, etc. to last for two-three days. I put my hand-held radio and cell phone in the vest. Admittedly, one has to become accustomed to the added bulk on you body, however, it is not that uncomfortable. First, one has to survive the crash landing! See yau'll at Waycross and a Happy New Year. Ray

The only problem is that it has no OV protection either and while they are a lot more reliable than the stock generator, they can fail. The B&C alternator and controller conversion is far and away the best (and most expensive). It is possible to add OV and on/off capability to a stock truck alternator tho'. It is neither difficult nor expensive to do. But don't rush to change it. The generator works just fine until it fails and it usually gives you a pretty good hint that it is on the way out. At that time you can upgrade to an alternator and save some weight in the process. In the mean time, save your money. > (4.) Aux fuel tanks. (I know, probably LOTs of $$).

It is about 42 gallons so you are safe under almost all conditions to flight plan for 2 hours leaving you a good reserve. I used to regularly operate at altitude (11,000'-12,000', 1800 RPM, MAP reduced slightly, and leaned just a hair lean-of-peak) with a fuel burn down around 11 gph which gives me three hours plus normal reserve. TAS will be around 135 kts. I use that when the winds are favorable in order to reduce the number of stops on long cross country flights. I have made some 500nm legs in a CJ with stock fuel that way. Try it a couple of times and carefully measure your fuel burn before counting on it. BTW, Barry's comment about the gouge of 1min/ltr is a good one for a conservative calculation of time aloft remaining. The stock Chinese fuel gauge is amazingly accurate. Fly a couple of times and check the accuracy of the gauge before counting on it but I think you will find it works very well. Mine indicated almost exactly 5% less fuel than I had on board leaving me with a built-in 5% margin. > (5.)

Fly E along the Columbia River Gorge to The Dalles in order to get on the back side of the Cascades where you will be dealing with very different weather patterns. From there the desert air will be more conducive to pleasant VFR flying. Do go out and practice under the hood so you can fly using the Chinese AI in a pinch. Rules and regs aside, weather can change and you want to be able to safely turn around and fly out of unplanned IFR conditions. -- Brian Lloyd 2243 Cattle Dr. brian-yak at lloyd dot com Folsom, CA 95630 +1.916.367.2131 (voice) +1.270.912.0788 (fax) I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    Subject: Re: So this is "Addiction"
    --> Yak-List message posted by: David Marsh <swampy@videotron.ca> Val, perhaps a good compromise would be to stick with standard tanks but fit a JP Instruments FS450. Hook it up to your GPS and it'll tell you how much fuel you need to your next waypoint, and what the reserve will be when you get there. Very useful when those pesky windsaloft are not what you expected........ Plus; it's a LOT cheaper than extra tanks. Dave. > > Valkyre1 wrote: > > > (4.) Aux fuel tanks.

    Subject: CJ6 IFR certification
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Robert Starnes <a35plt@yahoo.com> Can anybody give me a phone # for an Avionics shop that has done a Pitot static check/ IFR cert. on a CJ? The local avionics shop says they can't do it because they don't have an adapter that will fit the CJ pitot tube. Would like to see how another shop did it. The airplane is flown actual IFR so I want it done right. Thanks, Robert Starnes __________________________________ http://brand.yahoo.com/cybergivingweek2005/

    Do to time constraints I paid to have the unit installed. I also had a harness built but I don't remember who did it for me but it was only $75.00 I think, and I believe Dynon can give you the name of the guy that did it.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: Harry Hirschman <hairball192@yahoo.com> Mike: Thanks for sending out instructions on how to verify FAST status. I checked mine and found that I'm not listed. I'd appreciate it if you could assist me in getting things squared away by either letting me know what part of my submittal is lacking or by pointing me to the right person. I was a member back in 2003 but let it lapse. I renewed in October and show a charge to my credit card on 10/27/05 for $37 for renewal and FAST card fee. I submitted the paperwork from my FAST wing eval and checkride at about the same time. The flights were at ARS in May 05. I sent them to the address on the form and still have copies if you (or someone else) needs them. Please let me know what else I need to do. Also, please switch this thread over to my "harry@hirschman.com" email address cc'd above because I check that one more frequently than the yahoo address. By the way, I received email notices for the bylaws voting so I suspect that my membership is up to date. So perhaps the FAST paperwork did not make it to the right person. Thanks in advance, Harry PS: I bet you're getting a lot of emails like this these days. Appreciate your help over the holidays. --- MFilucci@aol.com wrote: > RPA Warbird Drivers, > > We'll be issuing the 2006 RPA FAST cards over the > next few weeks.
